r <br /> ( undisturbed till or structural fill, the latter being compacted to at least 95 percent of the MDD <br /> (ASTM D-1557)and eztendi�q horizontally a distance aqual to cwo and one-half:imes the depth <br /> ( of the footing. Passive resistancc should be calculated from the bouom of the adjacent floor slabs <br /> or paving, or at a depth of 1 foot betow the gcound surface, if the adjacent area is unpavod. <br /> ( Frictional resistance of footings and the building slab should be evaluatad �sing 0.4 for the <br /> � coefficient of base friction. 'Ibe above values incorporate a factor of safety of about 1.5. <br /> I DRAINAGE CONSIDERATIONS <br /> We reccmmend t6at all surfaces be sloped to drain away from the proposed building area. <br /> ( Pavement surfaces and opea space areas should be sloped such that surface water �unoff is <br /> oollected and routed to suitable dischazge points. <br /> � A seasona(ly shallow "perched" ground water condition can be ezpeded within the <br /> weathered till wne. In addition, water will accumulate in sandy zones within the unweadierod <br /> r till. The most probable area where near-surface seepage may accumulate against the footings <br /> 1 and/or beneath the floor slab is along the east portion of the building where some cut wHl be <br /> required to zstablish floor grade. We recommend that a footing drain be iastalled along the east <br /> I side of the building W intercept any near�urface seepage. 'Eais drain should be installed u close <br /> � to the bottom grade of the adjaceat footing as possible while atill maintaining a minimum <br /> � gradient. The drain should be laid to flow to the south and be connected to the storm drain <br /> system for the yazd area. 'Ibe drain should consist of perforated pipe a minimum of 4 inches in <br /> diameter enveloped in a bacicfill of washed gravel drain rock. 1t�e drain roc'_ bacld'ill should <br /> � eztend to the base course material if the area is to be paved or W within 10 to 12 inches of the <br /> finished surface if the azea is to be landscaped. If the drain is under a landscaped area, we <br /> � recommend sepazating the drain rock from the overlying topsoil wiU►a geotextile such a4 Mirafi <br /> 140N, Polyfelt TS600 or compazable fabric to prevent migration of fines from the topsoil into <br /> the drain rock. <br /> ( All roof drains should also be connected to the yazd azea storm disposal system. �e roof <br /> drainpipes should be kept sepazate from the footing drainpipes. <br /> � Any seepage encountered during construction is expected to be fairly limited in extent. <br /> Seepage into footing excavations shouid be diveRed from the beazing surface by shallow ditches <br /> � to collection sumps and removed by pumping, if necessary. <br /> PAVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> � We recommend that pavement subgrades be prepazed in accordanc� with the previously <br /> described site prepazation and structural fill recommendations. A 6-to 9-inch-thick subbase layer <br /> � of clean (less than 5 percent fines) pit run sand and gravel may be required to protect the <br /> subgrade if grading occura during wet weather. <br /> � We understand that traffic at the site wiil generally consist of passenger cars, delivery vans <br /> and smaller trucks. Only occasional (once or twice per day)large trucks aze planned. An asphalt <br /> � G c o E o Q i n e e r � 11 Fle No.3286-002-ROUO2Q79� <br />
